Once you have been registered, you will be sent a confirmation that the Service is available for you to use. Managing Risks There are a number of risks for employers in facilitating contributions to a wide range of superannuation funds whether an employer is using a superannuation clearing house service or not. All of these risks have direct implications for the timing of contributions and their subsequent allocation to the employee s (member s) account. A significant overarching risk for most employers using private sector clearing house services is failing to provide sufficient time to meet Superannuation Guarantee deadlines. An employer s Superannuation Guarantee obligations are only extinguished at the time the fund receives the money, not the date the employer pays the money, nor the date a private sector clearing house receives the money from the employer or pays the money to the superannuation fund. To avoid a Superannuation Guarantee Charge and associated penalties, employers must allow sufficient time to ensure the superannuation fund receives contributions by the 28th of each relevant quarter. Many of the risks and errors set out in the table below can contribute to delays and a failure on the part of the employer to meet their Superannuation Guarantee deadlines. The SuperChoice Services summarised Helps minimise the administrative burden upon employers managing superannuation contributions to multiple superannuation funds. It is an efficient and effective way to make large numbers of superannuation contribution payments to many funds. Easy to use. Once employers have entered the information required, that information is securely stored. Employers can even upload the payroll file so that the employee details are automatically transferred to SuperChoice. This means that employers do not have to re-key all the employee data to make contributions on their behalf. Flexibility. If employers need to add, amend or delete an employee record they can log on to the website and do so directly or from payroll. Accessibility. The website is available 24/7. The help line is available Mon to Fri between 8:00am and 6:00pm (Sydney time), except when the Services are unavailable because of routine or emergency maintenance. Security. The website is protected by a private cryptographic key system called Secure Socket Layer (SSL) which is widely used by banks for internet banking applications. 6

Risk Description How we help mitigate the risk What you need to do Getting started Privacy: Disclosing to your employees that you are making payments through a 3rd party You should seek advice about whether you need to disclose to your employees that you are providing personal information to SuperChoice and its service providers with which to facilitate the payment of superannuation contributions to their superannuation account. We can provide you with a Privacy Policy which sets out the purposes for which personal information can be used (superannuation purposes). When you give employees the ATO Choice Form, it s generally good business practice to let employees know you are using a 3rd party (SuperChoice) to distribute the payments. Security: Unauthorised Access Unauthorised access by an unauthorised third party, including in circumstances where the UserID and password have been compromised, may lead to fraud, data corruption, defects in transmissions and viruses. You must ensure you do not facilitate unauthorized access to the Services. We operate multi-level administrator access (managerial, clerical, and viewonly) for processing work and dual payment authorisation. For example, only managerial access can authorise payments. We must be notified immediately if your Login or Password is lost or stolen or if a you suspect that another person knows or has used its Login or Password. If you notify us, SuperChoice will cancel a Login or Password immediately. Notify us immediately in the event of any unauthorised access. Structure administrator access so only your appropriate employees have the appropriate level of access. Risk Description How we help mitigate the risk What you need to do Employer Mistakes Stopping Payments: In certain circumstances, you may seek to stop a payment (eg duplicate payment or overpayment) Once contribution information has been lodged through the Service with a cleared payment, it cannot be cancelled or reversed unless have have been notified before the cut-off time (see the Terms and Conditions). Once contributions have been sent to the superannuation fund, you will bear the responsibility for attempts to recoup monies from the funds. This is particularly problematic because the Trustee of the superannuation fund ordinarily requires the written consent of the employee (member). We have systems for lodging a stop payment but we must be notified within the cut-off times. It is imperative if you wish to cancel or reverse a payment that you notify MYOB immediately upon realising an incorrect contribution has been made so that MYOB can use best endeavours to notify us before the cut-off time so that the payment can be stopped. 7

Risk Description How we help mitigate the risk What you need to do Employer (Employee) Mistakes Inaccurate Data: It is your responsibility to ensure information about the employee and contribution are accurate. If you provide inaccurate or incomplete information, this may result in a contribution being rejected, delayed or even sent to the wrong superannuation fund. Inaccurate data might include: Use of a wrong product Unquie Superannuation Identifyier (USI)) or Australian Business Number (ABN) for the super fund Incorrect Member Identification (wrong member number) Inaccurate Date of Birth Wrong Bank details for a Selfmanaged Super Fund (SMSF) Selection of an account from which the employee has exited First name & Surname that does not match the super fund s records. We provide numerous validation tools to assist you to validate information and many of the funds login to electronic portals to correct information originally supplied such as: Fund validation Checking USI s and ABNs are valid superannuation funds and related where funds hold both forms of identification. Employer Identification Validation allowing employers to supply Employer Identification numbers held with the superannuation fund where they are registered with the fund. Member Identification Where member Identification in particular products have constant or algorithm based identification, we check member identification supplied against the constant or algorithm. When you are first registering employees to their appropriate superannuation fund and the Service identifies an error (e.g. a fund which cannot receive contributions), you need to correct information where the Service identifies a Fund, Employer or Member error. When superannuation funds notify errors electronically to you via our Service (e.g. incorrect product, incorrect memberid or assign a Fund employer Number), you may need to correct information either on our Service or in your payroll file for lodgement of subsequent contributions. When superannuation funds refund money (usually for members who have been exited from their account), you need to re-submit contributions to either the default fund or an alternative choice fund. 8

Risk Description How we help mitigate the risk What you need to do Clearing House and Banking Risks Payment to the super fund by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) If a staff member of a Super Fund fraudulently directs EFT monies to another bank account, you may not meet your Superannuation Guarantee Obligations. To protect employers and the clearing house, this Service sends money to APRA funds by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) only when the superannuation fund logs into a web portal to download electronic data securely and accepts liability for fraud and negligence on the part of employees of the superannuation fund. Most Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSF) are paid by EFT. General business practice has been that the Service sends cleared money (and matched money) by EFT within two business days and EFT clearance times are usually one business day. Ensure you leave sufficient time for those superannuation funds that receive payment by EFT. You can view EFT details online including EFT payment reference ID and receipt by EFT is ordinarily next business day. You should validate that the bank account provided by an employee for their SMSF is actually held in the name of the SMSF (eg. request to view a copy of a bank statement). Clearing House System or Bank Failure Superannuation clearing houses are invariably reliant on the bank systems to effect large volumes of payments to superannuation funds. In exceedingly rare instances, the clearing house system or the bank system may go down. This is why there is a difference between contractual and general business standards. In fifteen years of operation, there has not been a business day when payments have not been sent. Like all superannuation clearing houses, we strive to operate appropriate disaster recovery, business continuity and redundancy plans to bring systems up as soon as possible. While system failure events are not predictable, it is advisable to leave a few additional days to ensure superannuation money is received well before the Superannuation Guarantee deadlines. 9

Risk Description How we help mitigate the risk What you need to do Receiving Fund Risks Fund is unable to accept contributions Certain funds such as pensions, eligible rollover funds, certain government funds, closed or terminated funds and corporate funds (that do not operate retained divisions) are unable to accept contributions. In other circumstances, a fund may have been declared non compliant by APRA or the ATO. SuperChoice provides a warning system to block payments to those funds. In most circumstances, you will re-direct the contribution to your default fund or an alternative choice fund. You need to check these warnings when first linking the employee to the chosen fund. In certain circumstances, you may be able to contribute to a blocked fund because you may be an approved employer. Employer Registration: Fund has rules or conditions which require registration paperwork to be completed otherwise the contribution may be delayed or refunded with the requisite Superannuation Guarantee liability. Certain funds (primarily non public offer funds) require employers to register as a participating employer. Under 32(g)(2) of the Superannuation Guarantee Administration Act (SGAA), employers are not obligated to register, but may choose (voluntarily) to do so. If an employer agrees to register, it is binding itself to the fund s conditions in regards to payment frequency. and notifying the fund about exited employees. We provide a warning system in regards to funds that have registration requirements. You are given the option to re-direct to the default fund, or ask the employee to exercise choice for another fund that does not carry registration requirements or complete the funds registration requirements separately. If you wish to contribute to funds that require registration, you must complete the fund s registration paperwork before any contributions are made. 10
